King Hiram of Tyre cent cedar logs, stonemasons and carpenters to build a palace for King David. David took more wives and became the father of another 13 children including one called Solomon.
When the Philistines heard that David was king over all Israel they searched for him, but David heard about it and went out to meet them. David enquired of God as to whether he should attack them, and upon receiving an affirmative he defeated them at Baal Perazim. David saw this victory as a watershed moment and he burnt the Philistine gods. Then the Philistines again confronted Israel and God told David to circle round and attack them in front of the Poplar trees, and again David was victorious with his fame becoming international!
